Hey guys im looking to put a snorkel on my rig and im looking for feed back on the 2 types cowl and the traditional witch is better and some pros and cons my rig is a dd so keep that in mind thanx

 

I vote for the cowl on a daily driver. the full snorkel is cool on a trail rig but in my opinion look a little goofy on the street and if you're really in water that deep you got other problems anyway

 

snorkels are not for getting in that deep. it is insurance for when you go in over your hood.

i prefer the a pillar snorkels over the home made do it yourself cowl versions, cause if you do get a rush of water up the hood to your windshield, it would be like pouring a bucket into your intake.

 

All good points but i don't go near super deep mud or high water but my filter is getting dirty and and even a large puddle i have to be careful

 

Now the only worries i have wit a cowl is rainwater it does get in there and as far as the safari style price and looks kinda detour me from that style

 

that's just not true I have a cowl snorkel and have dumped numerous buckets of water in the cowl it does not get in the intake I have also stuck a garden hose in there and the intake was perfectly dry . It is designed to drain away so that water does not getting the ac/ heat system.

with that said if you go up above the windshield line in standing water its gonna get in the intake it will also be filling your interior through the vents

 

maybe if you have the intake for the snorkel on the driver side, but the passenger side is covered

 

cowl looks cleaner and doesn't have an intake tube to rip off while on the trail.


and depending on the cowl style you choose, it can also clean up the engine bay.

 

Im gonna do the pass side with the filter in the cowl i just don't want to hydro lock my engine in like a monsoon or something like i said im more worried about heavy rain than anything else so im gonna have to rtv the hell out of any holes on the cowl

 

mine did fine through hurricane season this year.

 

That's comforting im gonna give it a try i have all the holes cut but all my filters are to big lol so i gotta find one that fits in there

 

Do u happen to have any pics of your set up

 

heres a couple

 

How's the hood clearance with the tube over the vc

 

i ground away a little of the center hood support, but now the clearence is plenty.
